Determination of e/m
- Determine e/m
- Confirm negative polarity of the electron
- Deflection of electrons in magnetic field—Lentz’s Law
- Determine magnetic field as function of the acceleration voltage at a constant fine beam diameter
The tube’s n electron beam system consists of an indirectly heated oxide cathode, a Wehnelt cylinder and a perforated anode, in neon residual gas at a precisely set pressure. Integrated measurement marks for parallax-free determination of the diameter of the fine beam is also part of the electron beam assembly. Ionization of the gas atoms along the path of the electron produces a sharply defined, visible fluorescent beam. The tube is mounted on a base.

Flat Coil in a Rotatable FrameIn conjunction with the pair of Helmholtz coils (TEL-8481500), this device is intended for experiments involving the law of induction. The flat coil is mounted on a plexiglass frame with a rotary bearing. The electrical connection to the coil is established via sliding contacts. A hand crank and pulley on the rotary frame's axle are used to drive the coil.
